Coronation of King George V and Mary

-

The coronation of George V and his wife Mary as King and
Queen of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and
as Emperor and Empress of India, took place at Westminster Abbey,
London, on Thursday 22 June 1911.




The Procession


The first of three processions left Buckingham Palace at 9:30 am.
It consisted of representatives of foreign royal families and
governments, carried in fourteen carriages.

The second procession had five state landaus for members of
the British royal family; the fifth contained the King and Queen's
children, the Prince of Wales, Princess Mary and the young
Princes Albert, Henry and George. 

The third procession brought the officers of state in a further
four carriages and the twenty-fifth and final carriage, the Gold State
Coach carrying the King and Queen. They were surrounded by
equerries, aides-de-camp and the commanders of the armed
forces mounted on horseback, all escorted by Yeomen of the Guard,
colonial and Indian cavalry and the Royal Horse Guards



The Service


The order of service was prepared by Claude Jenkins, the Lambeth
Palace librarian, an eccentric character who was an antiquarian and
patristic scholar. He was supervised by Armitage Robinson, the
Dean of Westminster, who insisted that innovation be balanced by
tradition. 

In fact, there was little change from the 1902 coronation, or at
least that which had been intended, since the service had been
shortened because of Edward's poor health. Randall Davidson,
who as the Bishop of Winchester, had largely compiled the 1902
coronation service, was now Archbishop of Canterbury.
Davidson sought the advice of Frank Edward Brightman, a liturgist
from Magdalen College, Oxford. The main changes were to the
words spoken at the actual crowning, which replaced those first
used at the coronation of James II with a translation of the simpler
medieval form, and the coronation sermon, which had been omitted
in 1902, was reintroduced for the last time, but in a shorter form.
The service was conducted by Davidson, including the crowning of
the queen, which in 1902 had been delegated to the Archbishop of York.



After he crowned King George V, the Archbishop of Canterbury placed
Queen Mary’s coronation crown on her head. This illustration of the
moment was sketched by Fortunino Matania, the Italian artist
who worked exclusively for The Sphere at the time.












It is already known that Queen Camilla will use the crown of Queen Mary
for her coronation on May 6th. 2023.

This is the crown of Queen Mary:
